All-New Stage Show, Disney Live! Mickey’s Music
Festival,

Coming to ATLANTA

Mickey Mouse and his band of friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy will
be performing in a music mash-up of mega proportions when Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival debuts in ATLANTA.

Concert goers will
hear greatest hits from the blockbuster movies, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid,
and Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story remixed
to rock, pop, reggae, hip-hop, jazz, and country, among other jams.

Produced by Feld Entertainment, Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival
strives to be the biggest concert experience to hit live family entertainment.Tickets are already on sale.

“One song can touch millions of
people around the world, and Disney has been at the beat of this concept for
years by making music a main ingredient of storytelling,” said Producer and CEO
of Feld Entertainment Kenneth Feld.

“In Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival, we
are celebrating with the Disney characters to a soundtrack of the latest sounds
and chart-topping hits. We want our guests to walk away with lasting memories
and singing these unforgettable melodies long after they leave the show.”

Disney Live! Mickey’s Music
Festival,
featuring an all star line-up of more than 25 Disney characters, begins with audiences watching a state-of-the-art
video projection of the frenzy backstage which spills onto the stage as Mickey
welcomes guests to his concert tour.Soon thereafter, they will be transported to a new world
of hip-hop beats, dizzying acrobatics, flying carpets, and magical
transformations with Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie.

Underwater is where the
crowd will meet up with Ariel, Sebastian, and their nautical pals to groove to
the reggae rhythm, and family and friends will stomp to the beat as
Woody, Buzz, and Jessie teach them how to boogie rodeo-style. Anyone can be a member of the band as giant-sized
balloons fall from the ceiling in one scene and then in the next, Disney characters
are dancing in the aisles.

“We’ve
created an environment where audience members will be able to connect with the
Disney stars,” said Alana Feld, Producer and Executive Vice President of Feld
Entertainment. “Within each concert
moment are elements of personal interaction and the audience will be harmonizing,
dancing, laughing, and having an outrageously good time with the characters.”
